Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
Wow! Another :0
Schools back on so no promises on how fast these would come out :/
Anyway, Kanao's turn!
Still pet au
Ok, bye
------------
Kanao knew how to survive. Don't let them see what hurts you so they have no leverage.
You didn't have to try.
You weren't cruel.
That was the first thing that struck her as odd. Not that she could really feel the shock.
Well, she could. She always could. But if you keep the emotions buried, they couldn't be used against you.
She learned this at a young age.
Growing up from a small breading mill that was running short on money. So short that they sold their demons for dirt cheap.
It didn't matter anyway. She wasn't a high-quality demon. She was one that no one would bat an eye at if she disappeared. Even her owners after the mill thought so.
They weren't that well off either, so when they got her, they made sure she knew that they could sell her at any point for a quick, needed buck. So she 'behaved.'
She acted as what she thought any other good demon did, quiet and obedient. That didn't seem to help too much, however.
The owners after that were a bit better. They had more demons, too. Two sisters that immediately accepted her as one of their own, the younger being only slightly hesitant.
She had learned a lot from them. They took care of her. And when they were alone, when the owners were out, they were confused why she still had that emotionless, obedient attitude. She wouldn't make any decisions.
Kanae had a solution.
She had snuck into the masters' room and taken a coin that she knew no one would miss and gave it to Kanao.
Kanao was hesitant at first. This was stealing! And from their owners of all people.
But her sisters insisted. So she accepted it.
When no one was around and she needed to make a choice?
Coin flip.
When no one was around and the emotions she had built up were starting to show?
Coin flip.
It eased her immensely that she had this to fall back on, even if people still blamed her for the coins' choice. She was fine with this.
And it was from her sisters, so she would cherish it.
She grew with them, learning how to love from them. Showing them the smallest bit of herself.
It was a mistake.
The eldest, Kanae, as she learned, had feared for their life. A man had approached the girls and their owners on a night out, one of their better rewards for good behavior (that they didn't get too often thanks to Shinobu, the younger sister's, mouth) and Kanao accidentally bumped into him.
The man was shouting, and Kanao was confused. She had already apologized. Why was he still so angry? In her moment of thought, she almost didn't register the man raising a fist to hit her until Kanae had already moved in front of her and hit him herself.
Because of a demons' ridiculous strength, she broke several bones in the man's abdomen.
She was put down for this.
This broke both sisters all over again.
Kanae was the only one who really saw an upside to their situation, and with one demon in their care now having had a violent incident on her record, the owners wanted to get rid of the rest fast before a repeat.
So they were sold.
Once again, for dirt cheap.
This owner, you, seemed different somehow.
You never yelled. Hardly ordered.
You laughed when Shinobu made a snarky remark about you. Never truly offended.
And.
You gave them Kanae's hair pin and haori.
How you had aquired these? They may never know, they barely get a chance to ask anything about it without getting at least a little chocked up.
You broke the walls Kanao had put up for so, so many years so easily.
It may not have seemed like it to others, but you could tell. You paid enough attention to see her opening up even the slightest bit. To see Shinobu's sassy remarks getting fewer and further between.
You treated them like they were worth something, and that hit Kanao the hardest.
The two sisters' only regret is that their long past third couldn't get the same love before she was taken from this world.
But that was ok.
They promised themselves to live for her, so that, maybe, she could feel this happiness in the afterlife as well through them.
Move over tanjiro she's mine
AU: Genya and Kanao Met in the Final Selection. They hung out at first for practical reasons like training. However, over the years, they became rather close friends
Canon!GenKana would be a WHOLE lot more awkward and cutesy kinda stuff. Au!GenKana is already past that phase. I think both are good
Uncensored Version + Bonus, They're not Explicitly SH scars but rather scars from her drawing her own blood. But it looks a lot like SH so I'll put it here

Saw this in the Pinterest and I was like 'hey this would fit with Kanao'
Let us not forget that how Muichiro and Kanao literally roasted Gyokko and Douma and did not give a sheet about it.
They bringing the demons' self esteem down if they work together as a duo
